Title: Resin package.Abstract: A resin package includes: a die pad having a main surface on which a semiconductor substrate and a matching circuit substrate is mounted; at least one lead terminal electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate and the matching circuit substrate; a thin plate fixed to at least one of the main surface of the die pad and a main surface of the at least one lead terminal; and molding resin which covers the semiconductor substrate, the matching circuit substrate, and the thin plate. ...

TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND

Resin packages can be mass-produced at a low price, and are, therefore, most widely used as packages for consumer semiconductor devices.

For example, a high frequency power amplifier requires a matching circuit for efficiently inputting/outputting a signal to/from a semiconductor chip, and the matching circuit is often mounted on a die pad together with the semiconductor chip and embedded in a package. Moreover, the resin package is sealed with a resin (resin molding) for the purpose of protecting the semiconductor chip, the matching circuit, other integrated components, and wires for connecting the components (for example, refer to Patent Literature (PTL) 1 to 3).

Moreover, since the above-mentioned semiconductor chip, the matching circuit, etc. are mounted on one pad in the high frequency power amplifier, the size of the die pad (package size) tends to be large. Moreover, the high frequency power amplifier requires high radiation performance due to a large amount of heat generation, and directly radiates the generated heat to housing or a heat sink of an apparatus, and mostly has, therefore, a structure in which the back surface of the die pad is exposed from the resin.

SUMMARY

Since the high frequency power amplifier generates heat during the use as described above, the molding resin is detached due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between members of use (a semiconductor chip, a matching circuit component, a die pad, a lead frame, etc.) and the molding resin when the temperature of the semiconductor chip and the periphery thereof is repeatedly raised and lowered during a long term use. Accordingly, the members adhered to the molding resin are detached from the die pad or a wire is cut off. As a result, the high frequency power amplifier breaks down. Specifically, since the high frequency power amplifier generates a large amount of heat and has a large package size, the problem arises that the detachment of the molding resin significantly occurs.

The present invention was conceived in view of the aforementioned problem and has an object to provide a resin package with great reliability.

Solution to Problem

In order to solve the aforementioned problem, the resin package according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a die pad having a main surface on which a chip is mounted; at least one lead terminal electrically connected to the chip; a thin plate fixed to at least one of the main surface of the die pad and a main surface of the at least one lead terminal; and sealing resin which covers the chip and the thin plate.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

According to the present invention, a resin package with great reliability can be provided.
